Hi, everyone! I am glad to meet you again at this 2nd improvisational event. The 1st event (https://soundcloud.com/milanazilnik/improvisation-for-you-video) that happened two months ago received an exciting response - I received many amazing melodic motifs to improvise on. So, by that time we knew it already that we are going to organize another event like the previous one.

I would also like to announce the release of my 2nd original piano album called "Accidental Etudes". This album is closely related to these improvisational events, since most of the compositions on the album were born from similar short melodic motifs, played by my husband or by my kids. The album is available on
iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/album/accidental-etudes/id848461749
Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Accidental-Etudes-Milana/dp/B00J8ZCOF2
Bandcamp: http://milana.bandcamp.com/album/accidental-etudes

I hope you will enjoy this album with my little accidental etudes.

This time I've received 10 motifs, played on piano, whistled... yes-yes, whistled! Or just written as notes. Yesterday three motifs were randomly drawn and I had fun improvising on the fly. The chosen motifs were recorded by:
Barry Snaith from UK (@barry_snaith)
Yannick Jamsin from Belgium (@ayun4)
Maurizio Schembri from Malta (@maurizio-schembri-1)

Improvisation For You #2 - Video

Playing piano since I was four and studied in a musical school for ten years. Though, I always felt that playing by notes and singing in a choir is not enough to become a musician. I needed to be able to play anything I want by ear so, by starting improvising, I've found my own style of playing. When I teach children to play piano or sing, I offer them improvisation right from the beginning. I wish I was taught that way, since until my mid-30s I had hard times to relax and believe in my ability to create my own music. Twelve years ago my husband (@arty-sandler) finally convinced me to record some of my improvisations and we opened this account on SoundCloud - it happened in July, 2012.

You won't find a single particular genre on my cloud: my musical tastes are rather eclectic. Jazz and soft rock are my favorites but I also play blues, classical, folk, middle-eastern, New Age, ambient and others. Piano and vocal are my main instruments but together with my husband we also experiment a lot with different arrangements and orchestrations. 

When we started uploading our music to SoundCloud back in 2012, it was first shy attempts to record my improvisations straight from a keyboard. Many things have evolved since then. Over the years we've grown into a professional recording and composing studio, with a conservatory grand piano in an acoustically treated room and a bunch of microphones and other recording equipment. We scored a few documentaries, short films and animations. This year my orchestral and piano solo works were performed by Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra for Bryan Arias’s ballet show based on “The Little Prince” story. We've published three books with my original scores for solo piano and released twenty original full-length albums (solo piano, multi-instrumental and original songs in various genres) and numerous singles that have been streamed over 70 million times across multiple platforms.

I am glad you stepped by into my musical world and appreciate your comments and following me.
